Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs
finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 5 days agoJust got a weird Clayton Bigsby feel from your comment, only instead of him saying ‘white power’ quietly at the end of his shouting, I thought of someone ranting about the harm rich people do continually ending their bellowing with a short, fast, calm, “Eat the rich” as a contrast at the end of any sentence. For example:
“BILLIONAIRES COULD BUILD A DOZEN STRAY ANIMAL SHELTERS FOR THE COST OF ONE OF THEIR YACHTS, BUT THEY’RE TOO SELFISH! THE ONLY ANIMAL THEY CARE ABOUT … IS THEMSELVES! Eat the rich”.
“NINE DOLLARS FOR A CUP OF COFFEE?! NINE DOLLARS COULD PAY FOR A STUDENT’S BREAKFAST AND LUNCH! Eat the rich”.
“OW! I STUBBED MY GODDAMN TOE! Eat the rich”.

The examples give a vibe of radio advertising, with a sped up text in the end telling you ‘we are not responsible for anything, terms and limitations
